but, first, the fop story tonight, pay up for better fuel economy some people are doing that, only to have the engine shut down on the highway according to a new lawsuit filed by three ford owners. the suit claims the ford ecoboost engines are defective and lose power when the driver is accelerating. this echoes complaints filed with the federal government, but there's still not an investigation or a recall. with more on this. jake fisher, director of auto testing at consumer reports. jake k welcomeo the show. so what do you think of this? i mean, look, these cars, they shake, they stall, they stall when you have your foot on the gas pedal. what do you think ofhis? >> well,this is not a pleas -- pleasant thing as all if you're a customer, especially if you spend extra on fuel economy and see it's not working. not even a inconvenience, but something that angers the drivers. gerri: 2500 bucks more per

engine per car. look at the cars with the engines in them, the ford flex, the taurus show, lincoln market sedans, f150, the pickup, forked goodness sakes, fo explorer, all over the darn place. jake, i have to ask, you told the producer this is no safety risk. how so? >> well, it depends on what goes on. if the engine shuts down op the highway, that is a safety risk. some things, what the complaints are about is hat it is uttering, not getting a really good driving experience or something like that. that's another animal. we're -- we have to see what's going on. we have data on the cars and see problems with that, reliability issue, fuel system problems, but e difference between a safety issue where car is leaving you completely stranded or something like that and it's a reliability issue. gerri: if it stops while i accelerate on to a highway, i

consider that a safety issue. there's maybe somebody behind me. talk about the work you at cr have done on this because you are out in front of the idea of turbo charged engines, good, bad, what have you said? >> well, you look at he engines -- so it's really a new technology that ford is doing and others do, too, to get better fuel economy and give you a good amount of power. what we've seen with the turbo charged engines from ford and others, that although the epa advertised fuel economy number looks higher, in the real world and testing, there's not the results. gerri: well, that's a bummer; rit? why call it the ecoboosts unless it boosts gas milage? listen, if i had one of these engines in my car, i truly think i would be tempted to call ford, take it back, i want anther engine. what do i do if i own one of these, jake? >> if you own them, they are under warranty.

bring them to the dealer, say i'm not walking out, i want it fixed. they will fix it. that's what you got to do. you're protected with the warranty. gerri: there's a difference between fixing it and a new engine. which of the two things are they lilikely to do? >> depends on what the problem is. if there's a way to foolproof fix it and turns into an eltronic issue to fix, tat's going to be fine, it's -- it's a growing pain. it's a new technology, new engine, if th need to figure out how to fix it, if you can get a new ecu or fuel inject tore and that fixes it, that's fine, but we're going to have to see how ford reacts to this. gerri: what about the federal government? where'sed feds on this? >> they are looking into safety issues. again, if this turns into that this is a real issue, that the cars are stopping on the highway causing accidents, absolutely, the feds need to react. if it's a matter of the engine stuttering, then it may be different. gerri: shimmy, shake, and stall,

that's not a dance, but your engine. thank you, appreciate your time. >> you're welcome. gerri: well, we've got another big question tonight. are local governments motivated by public safety or greed? in the case of red light cameras, there's mounting evidence that it's greed, my friends. the latest example comes from florida where the time for yellow lights was shortened sending fines through the roof. joins us, the florida state senator from one of the districts where drivers are getting caught in tampa. jeff, thanks so much for coming on the show tonight. how did this get started? why are they startenning the yellow light times? >> sur back in 2010, they, the state of florida, allowed the mew municipalities for addition until flexibility. when they gave them that, some of the municipalities were rushed to the minimums at the intersectis. gerri: that's what? three seconds against five or six? >> what happened was they moved

to the shorter light times. taking half a second away is, youknow, dramatically increasing the amount of red light tickets issued. >> nay are expensive in florida, 300 bucks or something? >> up to $265. gerri: wow. i assume that people in the district are complaining; true? >> absolutely. you know, i describe it as shock and awe, shock the process is taking place, and that these municipalities do this, and awe that nothing has been done yet. i mean, we should never be put profits or anything like this in front of the lives of our constituents and our citizens. gerri: if i came upon this, i might jam on the breaks and the person behind me rams met. does that happen a lot? >> that'sa major complaint, and, in fact, we're looking at revising our local laws to look at accidents occurring within 150 meters of the intersection because many times peopleerhat e

intersection as an accident, but things leading up to the intersection are accidents too. we look at broadening the scope of accidents. gerri: that's a stupid bureaucratic designation that needs common sense brought to it. unbelievable. we studied this kind of thing up in new york. you know, people in new york, washington, all overthe country, florida, putting the rules into place, and aaa doesn't like the sayinghey create accidents, and a they say, interestingly, the effort is to raise money for the state government. they say they are not even spending the money on public safety, just one in ten dollars goes to public safety. what do you think of that? >> no. that's exactly right. this goes into the general revenue fund, not public safety at all. it's unconscionable what's happening. gerri: you want to kill cameras all together, tell me about that. >> at this point, we look at the systems saying, these were sold as public safety, and what we're

finding is that municipalities turn them into profit center, and that's absolutely should not be the case. gerri: rear end crashes rose 44% in a st. peterburg study after the implementation of this thing. fight the good fight there, senator. you know, good luck, god speed, and let us know if you get traction. thank you for the help tonight. >> thank you, we're going to keep working on it, thank you so much. gerri: more to come this hour. a lot more, in fact, incling if you're one of the millions trying their luck at the lottery this weekend, we have better ways to play it, and conventional wisdom thrown out the window for seniors, why financial advisers tell you to keep your mortgage into your golden years. don't pay it off, they say. ♪ we know a place where tossing and turning have

practice? >> i do a lot of education on blogs and radio shows and so forth, and i interview a lot of attorneys, and the first thing they say is if they are going to pursue a lawsuit, they. to know they can get money, and the first thing they do is a title search to see if you have equity. gerri: wow. if you own the house free and clear, it's a target on your back for people in that age category. you also say it's a good way to build diversification. how so? >> oh, absolutely. you know, if you have all of your equity in one place, how is that diversification? so often most people have most of their money in their home. they spent years payng it off. now they havea big bucket of money, but it's just sitting like we said, a sitting duck for others to slip and fall op your property, so that is dangerous. if you refinance, irst of all, now there's a loan on that property, it's not interesting to app attorney because they can't do anything with the equity. it sewhere else. maybe you take a few hundred

thousands out and buy investment where the income pays off t debt. put properties in an llc, not in your name, and it's very difficult to track who owns those properties. gerri: all right. basically, what you do s simple comparison of the rate of interest that you would get on that jumbo refi, 3.79 is the current level, and what you could earn in on investment. if you know you can earn 5%, 6%, 7%, that might make sense; right? >> well, that's exactly what the banks do. they borrowmoney, and legend out for 3% more. now it's pretty much free. they lend itor it, you know, the 3.5-4% range. why can't we do the same thing? why can't we borrow from our homes and invest i for more? you know, people say, where am i going to get 6.5%? there's a lot of places to get that return.

so, of course, threw them out the window, but some eas worked. as i accumulated ideas that worked, enajftly got to a -- i eventually got to a point where there were results and won the first grand prize. gerri: you say it's not about luck? luck's not a part of the creation? >> luck has nothing to do about this. luck is just fooling themselves. gerri: huh. get down to it. talk about the things you do. what number -- certain numbers that you play? play the most common, least common, what do you do? >> no, that's all about a hogwash. there's o -- somebody -- everody thinks there's magic to get the best and worst numbers to play. there are no best and worst numbers. it's the set. remember, a single number doesn't win, a set wins. i teach people in the method that after you picked your set of numbers, and it doesn't matter how, some is birthdays, anniversaries, some are the numbers that come up the mostor least, but once you pick them,

there's a research that you do, and it's in the book, it's simple to do, and it'll tell you if that's a good set of numbers. if it is, now you stick with thatet of numbers. you play that se set of numbers, never change them or miss a draw. gerri: now, but what makes a good number, richard? >> again, it's not a number. it's a set of numbers. gerri: right. >> it's when you -- it's hard to explain it in a short interview. it's a process that takes a limit of time. it's jt like anything in life. if you really want something bad enough, you have to be willing to spend spend time and effect on it. gerri: you have. what do you think a computer generatedded numbers, that's bad? use the same number over and over again; right? >> yeah, don't buy quick picks. i know people out ere saying, what do you mean don't? i always buythem. well, have you won yet? the reason why you don't -- the reason why you don't is because

every single time you do so, y're getting a computer generated set of numbers, and it's always different so your odds will be at the worst. gerri: right. keep the same set of numrs every time. now, you say something here, i ju -- i really hate to hear, really. yosay buy as many tickets as you can fore. really? that seems like a waste of money to e me. a penny pincher. >> no, no, no, the keyword there is "afford," i'm firm about this. buy as many tickets as you can afford. listen, times are tough out there, and unfortunately, when the jackpots are this high, people get crazy and get lottery fever, and they spend more money on tickets than they afford. yes, by them, otherwise you don't have a chance, but don't spend more than you can affor don't spend represent money or gresh ri money. be careful about what you spend because, you know, no matter there's a winner tomorrow night or not, one thing is forsure, there's going to be millions of

they followed my method and dparn teed a p grand prize, i'd lying, and people are foolish to believe me. what i teach people is how to play the game to increase their chances of winning. gerri: okay. well, i guess you got to play to win, but i have not bought a ticket because i'm a cheapskate. richard, thanks for coming on, and appreciate the help. >> come on, at least buy one, just one. gerr more likely to be struck by lightning in a bear suit, richard, thank you. >> you're welcome. gerri: what do you think? here's the question tonight. are you playing the power ball, log on, vote on the right happen hand side of the screen, and i'll share the rsults at the end of the show. time for a look at stories you click on tonight on foxbusiness.com. encouraging news about the economy sent stocks saring. both thedow and s&p 500 are back in record territory. the obama administration further

just it's been a busy week of denials from the administration that claims to know nothing about the three scandals engulfing the white house. as lou dobbs pointedout last night, they're not doing much to fix things. >> we call in the i don't know administration. now the president is using this new mantra, he says that he just wants to fix things. he doesn't want to talk about benghazi, the irs, the justice department. the acting commissioner of the irs is out even though he was planning to leave in a couple

weeks. the president still has, he says, complete confidence in his attorney general even though 131 congressmen, eight senators and two governors have called for holder's resignation over the f. forgot about tat scandal? be. gerri: i don't know, i couldn't imagine knowing. they're amazing, lou. are you talking about this tonight? >> oh, absolutely. as we are now calling it, this know-nothing administration because everyone seems to have exactly the same mantra. it was on full display again today. outgoing commissioner steve miller claiming he doesn't know who's responsible for targeting conservativeroups. even at one point he said he did talk to somebody, but he can't remember what theytold him about that. and he wants the big fix for him he says the irs needs a bigger budget, just a little more money. that's kind of typical of what you hear from washington, isn't it? well, in tonight's chalk talk we'll lay out what has become a pattern for this

administration -- claiming ignorance, asking for more money. you know, it's starting to be a very sad, perhaps even tragic pattern in this aministraon. we'll find out where these scandals are going, gerri. gerri: well, look forward to seeing you on in about 28 minutes. thanks so much, lou. good to see you. >> good to see you. gerri: for more on today's explosive hearing, michael reagan, founder of the reagan group, is with us. michael, i have to ask you straight up wh did you make of this hearing? >> i don't know. gerri: what do you mean you don't know? [laughter] >> no, i don't -- i figured why not answer it the way they answer it? i don't know. i don't know how all these thingsappen. i mean, this is so typical in washington. i mean, i guess all of us are waiting for that perry mason moment when steve miller's just going to give it up and say listen, you know, joe biden called me, the president called me and asked me to do these things, and everybody goes home and says, look, i knew this was

what it was. this is a game that's played in washington. it's sad and good at the same time everybody is, in fact, touched by the irs. gerri: i am. >> and everybody understands what the irs does to a family, a business owhat have you when they get their claws into you. so it's good that they see steve miller denying, not knowing what to do, the president of the united states saying i'm going to fix it. but if he doesn'tknow about it, he doesn't know what to fix, and then he goes out and plays a round of golf. it's good that they finally see it, unfortunately, it's about three or four months too late. gerri: you mentioned what the irs can do to you, they can garnish your wages, put you in jail, take your assets. they have, ultimately, all power. but what miller said in defense of himself was shocking to me. it was about customer service. listen to this. >> we provided horrible customer service here, i will anytime that. we did -- i will admit that.

we did, horrible customer service. whether it was politically motivated or not is a very different queson. gerri: customer service, are you kidding me? is that what -- that's not even in the ballpark of customer service. >> oh, they had great customer service if you were an obama foundation or you were from the liberal left, but they had lousy customer service on the other side when they were looking into conservative groups out there. and i'd like to know who gave harry reid all the informatn on mitt romney's tax returns. where did that come from? has anybody talked to axlerod, see if he played a part in all of this? andhe other night joe trippi on fox actually said that they weren't really worried about ohio. they were going to win ohio going away -- gerri: right. >> -- and nobody was worried about ohio. i about fell out of my chair with all of that that's going on. and all these things gng on, benghazi. by the way, bill press, used to head up the democrat party in cafornia, now a liberal talk show back in washington, d.c.,

called for the resignation of eric holder also. so this is getting to be very, very bipartisan at the justice department. and i think the irs to be the undoing of a whole lot of people back in washington d.c. gerri: well, i want you to hear some sound from camp, dave camp, who has been very critical of this. he was very good in this hearing. here's the congressman. >> this is a problem of the irs being too large, too powerful, too intrusive and too abusive of honest, hard working taxpayers. gerri: well, i mean, that sums it up. but i've got to tell you, there's more going on here. you can say the problem's the tax code, but look, this is like watergate to me. i mean, these allegationsre true, i mean, you know, te white house and the administration using the government to kill their political opponents. >> where but remember at the same time sarah ingram who headed up that office having to do with all these issues they're

looking into aut tax-exempt organizations is now heading up the affordable care act office under the irs. gerri: unbelievable. >> so if you think it's going to get better, america, bar the door sally. it is not going to get better with this same organization, this same group, same people looking into your paycheck to find out whether you've got health care or not. gerri: i want you to hear a story we reported not too long ago. the irs overpaying $13.5 billion on the earned income tax credit, that program for low income families in 2012. it's just mistake after gaffe after oops, i can't answer that question. what needs to happen here? >> yeah, what they need to do is put people in place when they go to whington, they're stepping down in their career, not stepping up. and so many of those people are actually stepping up. i remember my father's administration, heent after people who were stepping down to serve their government, to serve

their country, not people that it was the best job they'd ever had in their entire care. and they were just giddy with the fact they were getting pd more than they've ever been paid before, and they'll never have anyareer afterwards. no. start electing and appointing people who really want to serve us instead of people who want to take from us. gerri: boy, i heard a lot of cya today. it really sounded like protect myself, cover my butt here. and a little arrogant too, i thought. do you agree with that? >> oh, absolutely right. this whole thing is about -- well, you know, it was on my watch, i was there for two and a half minutes, and all these things happened, and it happened on my watch and, therefore, i'm a good guy, i'm going to step down on this. never did answer the question, by the way. what about those people who did this? have they, has anything happened to them? well, we put them in another position at the irs. we don't want them in another position at the irs, we want them on the food line, on the unemployment line, not in

another position at the irs. [laughter] by the way, these this don't just happen in a vacuum where people wake up in the morning and say, younow, i think we need to go after the conservative groups out there d really attk them in ohio and other places. gerri: no, right. >> no, somebody at the top level made the phone call, asked the question and began the ball rolling. and that is the person whose head needs to be on the chopping block. not steve miller. gerri: well, we don't have that yet, and i don't know if we will. we'll have to wait and see. michael, it always great to see you. thank you so much for coming on the show. so much fun talking with you. >> thank you. gerri: well, now on to this day in business. in 1973, way back then, televised hearings o the escalating watergate affair began. five men were arrested for brking into and illegally wiretapping the dnc headquarters in washington. the house judiciary committee has adopted three articles of impeachment against president nixon, obstruction of justice,
